The four characteristics for the Atlantic Puffins are they have more than one different cell, they have webbed feet,they have black and white feathers, they have a colourful beak and they have a triangluar shape above their eyes.
They grow, when they are born their very small, but then they start growing and growing and eventually they get to the adult size.
They reproduce, by making more and more puffins so that their race can continue on.
They respawned, if you push them lightly they will start to tip but then they will shift to regain their balance.
b. How does your LT meet its needs for air, water, shelter and food? The puffins meet their needs for ~ air: they are land animals so that means that they can breath water: they can fly which means that they are able to get to a water source faster shelter: they build nests and they can hide in caves or under rocks food: they catch small fish with their beaks
